"You could argue that some of the sushi is overdone and over orchestrated, too. But Hotoke's "signature" rolls are flavorful, artfully presented and fun. The purist's nigirizushi, or uncooked fish on ovals of vinegared rice, also is recommended, as is sashimi. All this is done in a suitably eye-catching and eye-irritating dining area. Illumination abounds, neon and otherwise, from the sub-counter lighting at the sushi bar to the color TVs above it. The fireworks in the hibachi chamber, of course, require minimal wattage. You'll see a rush of color in Hotoke's namesake roll, a combo of lobster, mango, avocado, tuna, roe, honey wasabi sauce and a riff on aioli; and the Baja roll, layered with tuna, yellowtail, salmon, jalapeño, roe, guacamole and a cilantro emulsion. Surprisingly, they both work. So does the clever "two thumbs up" roll with crisp soft-shell crab, spicy tuna and avocado, rolled into a soy-bean sheet and finished with eel. Baseball fans can debate the merits of the Yankee roll, with shrimp tempura, versus the Red Sox roll, with mango-lobster salad. For the record, the Mets aren't officially represented." - Peter M.
